Reportupdater writes a README in the output folder
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Idea by @mpopov: Automatically generate a README in the output directory based on info in the configuration yaml. Maybe the reportupdater config could have a README option if the user wants to override the default.

I'd also recommend adding a "description" field that each report can have. Our config YAMLs have those (e.g. https://github.com/wikimedia/wikimedia-discovery-golden/blob/master/modules/metrics/external_traffic/config.yaml) and it's super useful for generating https://datasets.wikimedia.org/aggregate-datasets/discovery/README.md:


Discovery Datasets
